Perfection comes down to one game now. Despite a shaky Tom Brady, the New England Patriots were still too much for the bangeo-up San Diego Chargers in the AFC championship game Sunday, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the Super Bowl for the fourth lime in seven seasons. ''I think there will be a time to sit back and reflect," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "We'll certainly enjoy this for a few days." Brady made several stunningly poor throws that fluttered in the chilly wind, Randy Moss was a · non-factor for the secono straight game and the highest-scoring team in NFL history sputtered all afternoon. Instead, the Patriots ( 18-0) relied on Laurence Maroney's spins, cuts and helmet-rattling runs. With injured Chargers star LaDainian Tomlinson reduced to mostly watching in a parka, the Patriots moved on ·to a Feb. 3 . niatchup in Glendale, Ariz., against the winner of the NFC title game between the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants. "Now we're going someplace warm, because I'm freezing my you-know-what off," Brady said. Yet for all the Brady Bunch has accomplished - they're the only team in NFL history to start out with 18 straight victories - the Patriots are well aware they must win that final game to avoid being relegated to a footnote. No matter, New England took care of the nuts and Bolts. The AP photo sellout crowd at Gillette Stadium. New England Patriots head coach Bill .Belichick hoists the Lamar Hunt chanted "Super Bowl!

Manning was, well, cool on New York's first series, driving the Giants 71 yards on 14 plays, going 5-for-8 for 55 yards before Tynes kicked a 29-yarder. Green Bay went backward on its next series, an ugly three-and-out on which Favre passed three times, all behind the line of scrimmage. Total yardage: minus-3 yards. · Just as unseemly was 20year veteran punter Jeff · Feagles' first k:ick in a championship game on New Yor](s next possession, a 21 :yard shank. After Tynes nailed a 37 • yaroer for a 6-0 lead, Koren Robinson had Packers fans holding their breath as he overran the kickoff, then bobbled it before recovering at the Green Bay 10. Then Favre and Donald Driver took their breath away. with the longest pass in team playoff history. The c;~gey veteran receiver shook off a bump by Webster to break free as Favre double-pumped. Driver caught the ball at the 29 and raced the final 71 yards being chased by three Giants. None came close to preventing Driver's first touchdown in four months. Favre extended his NFL record with his 18th straight postseason game with a TD pass. Few have been so spectacular.

Tomlinson carried on the first two San Diego plays, and did not run it again because of a bad knee. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers hung in despite a bum knee and star tight end Antonio Gates did his best with a dislocated toe. Chargers coach Norv Turner needed to improvise without Tomlinson, a two-time rushing champ. . "He really couldn't get started," Turner said. "He went and tried to .go and just didn't have the power to push off." "Anything you say can't change the uisappointment you feel right now," he said. The Chargers gave a better performance than early this season, when they were routed 38-14 at New England. They trailed j11st 14-.12 midway in the third quarter this time, but Brady's 6-yard TD pass to Wes Welker was enough for New England. Maroney rail for 122 yards to help hold the lead. The Patriots seemed poised to pull away late in the third quarter, but a terrible throw by Brady cost them. On third-and-goal at the 2, Brady tried a ·touch pass over the middle that NFL mterceptions leader Antonio Cromartie easily picked off standing on ..the New England logo in the end zone. Nate Kaeding's fourth field goal, a 24-yarder midway through the third period, pulled San Diego to 14-12. Too bad for the Chargers, that was the story of their afterlloon - they'd drive close, only to wind up settling for a kick. , It was 23' degrees at gametime, making for frosty breaths on the field and putting the Patriots cheerleaders in parkas.

The crowd also watched the Chargers refuse to back down, engaging in several post-play scuffles with the heavily favored Patriots.

A survey of the gathering storm-as consumers pull back, businesses feel pain BY DAVE CARPENTER ' AP BUSINESS WRITER Economists and loliticians can debate al they want about whether the nation is sliding into its first recession in neai-1~ seven years. To Chuck R1zzo, the picture is clear. Rizzo was recently laid off from his customer service job at a homebuilder in Sarasota, Fla. His grocery bill is higher nowadays, and he can barely afford his mortgage payments. ''Everything has gotten tremendously more expensive," said Rizzo, 45, who is married with a 15-year-old daughter. "We don :t go out to dinner now. We don't take vacations. We've had to make a lot of adjustments to our lifestyle." · Whether an actual recession is on the way - or already here - U.S. consumers and businesses are being increasingly squeezed by a downturn .that threatens to spread the pain being felt everywhere from the gas pump to the un~mployment line. The official designation often comes long after the recession itself begins. Experts note that the point at which the "R-word" is triggered is mostly an academic debate. "That's not going to make a great deal of difference to people's economic wellbeing or their pocketbooks," said Frank Lichtenberg, professor of business, finance and economics at Columbia Business School in New York. "The idea that if you're on one side of the line you're in a recession and if you're on the other side you're fine that's not really the case," he added. "Clearly, we are in a very difficult period." In the last recession, in 2001 , investors took the biggest hit from collapsing technology stock prices. This time, consumers may bear the brunt of the pain as rising inflation and sky-high energy prices boost . daily living costs uncomfortably. The current slide started when the housing market, pumped up with the help of loans that were easier than ever to obtain, went from boom to bust. The real estate and horne construction markets collapsed, loan defaults and foreclosures proliferated and damage has continued to spread through the nation's financial system. The double punch of a punctured housing market and oil that topped $100 a barrel has sfowed the growth of the world's · largest economy to a crawl, and tightening credit and other worrisome trends may well make things worse in 2008 before they get better.

There are 344 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan .. 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court, in its Roe v. Wade decision, legalized abortions using a trimester approach. On this date: • In 190 I, Britain's Queen .Victoria died at age 8 I. In 1905 (New Style calendar), thousands of demonstrating Russian workers were fired on by Imperial army tJ:~ps in St. Petersburg on what became known as "Bloody Sunday." In 1908, Katie Mulcahey became the first woman to run afoul of New York City'sjust-passed ban on females smoking in public. (Declaring, "No man shall dictate to me," Mulcahey served a night in jail after being unable to pay a $5 tfine.) In 1922, Pope Benedict XV died; he was succeeded by Pius XI. In 1938, Thornton Wilder's play "Our Town" was performed publicly for the first time, in Princeton, N.J. In 1968, the fast -paced sketch coniedy series "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" premiered on NBC-TV. In 1995, Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy died at the Kennedy compound at Hyannis Port, Mass., at age 104. Five years ago: Countering blunt talk of war by the Bush administration, France and Germany defiantly stated they were committed to a peaceful solution to the Iraq crisis. Opponents and supporters of abortion rights rallied on the 30th anniversary of the Supreme Court's "Roe versus Wade" ruling. Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Bill Mauldin, who had immortalized World War II soldiers with his characters ,Willie and Joe, died in Newport Beach, Calif., at age 81. One year ago : A car bombing of a predominantly Shiite commercial area in Baghdad killed 88 people. Iran announced it had barred 38 nuclear inspectors on a United Nations list from entering the country in apparent retaliation for U.N . sanctions imposed the previous month.

It was the president who revised our rule of law to, at first, secretly give the NSA the power to illegally subvert citizens' privacy in this way. But there is a way to provide credibility to a criminal investigation of the destroyed CIA tapes in full context. Constitutional lawyer Bruce Fein, who served in the Reagan Justice Department and is chairman of the American Freedom Agenda, tells rile: "The flaw in the current arrangements (by which Durham will conduct the investigation) is· that the attorney general is still entrusted with determining whether to invoke state secrets or executive privilege to withhold critical evidence from the prosecutor. It would be like President Nixon determining what evidence to give Archibald Cox or Leon Jaworski investigating Watergate. "That is why," Bruce 'Fein continues, "I have called for Congress to create a new version of the lapsed independent counsel statute that would apply to situations when the executive branch is investigating itself, and a clear conflict of political interest arises. "This new statute would make the independent counsel appointed by a three -judge panel as before. That independent counsel could not be dismi ssed except for egre- gious misbehavior, and any' dismissal ' ~ subject to judicial Fei n. t 1 111 nfhPr vital pro\ l><v u ou<ll would indeed ens11re this criminal investigation would be independent "Most important," he says, "the independent counsel would enjoy authority to challenge in federal courts any state secrets privilege - or executive privilege claim interposed by the president or the attorney general to block access to relevant information. "The independent counsel could be made permanent for the general category of executive branch conflict of political interest cases - or be special for the videotape interrogation case alone. And the statute should also make it a crime for the execuiive branch to retaliate. or demote any government official cooperating with the investigation." Sen. John . McCain strongly objects to torture and certainly believes in the separation of powers. He could introduce a bill creating this statue th.at would really get to the bottom - and the top - of the CIA' s destruction of those videotapes, leading to a probe of the administration 's other practices of torture. .

Peyton Manning has played Owner Jim lrsay offered to for only two head .coaches, ' APphoto Indianapolis Colts head football coach Tony DungS' announces he will remain the team's coach through the 2008 season at a news conference in Indianapolis Monday. Dungy and Jim Mora, and one offensive coordinator, Tom Moore, in 10 seasons. Running backs coach Gene Huey has ·been with the team for 16 seasons, offensive line coach Howard Mudd and linebackers coach Mike Murphy for 10, and defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, defensive line coach John Teerlirtck and defensive backs coach Alan Williams all came with Dungy in 2002. "I think that would be the hope and that we do keep moving forward, keep those guys in place, keep the same systems in place and keep getting the same types of players," Dungy ·said. "I think that would be Jim' s hope." Caldwell, who turned 53 last week, has been Manning's qu"!rterback coach for six years and Dungy 's assisiant head coach the last three. With the unusual succession plan in place, Caldwell also gets a new title, associate head coach. His only previous head coaching experience on the college or pro level was at Wake Forest where he went 26-63 in eight seasons. However, he had become a. trendy candidate over the past year, interviewing for jobs with the Atlanta Falcons and llaltimore Ravens earlier this month and the Arizona Cardinals last January. Caldwell will now be included in more decisionmaking discussions although Dungy will retain his vote, "As far as the duties, those won't change," Caldwell said. 'Til be working with the quarterbacks and doing what the boss asks me to do. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to lead this team in the future, and I hope it's in the distant future ."

Many thought he would leave after the 2005 season , following the death of hi s 18-year-old son, James, but he returne(l to Indy in 2006 and won: the Super BowL . Next season will present some new challenges. Dungy hopes to see his son, Eric, play on Friday nights and will try to get home as often as possible. lrsay understands and isn't worried that it mjght distract Dungy from hi s job. "There can be some negative things brought up, but I don ' t buy that," he said. "Tony is· committed to his family, he's committed to this franchise and that's what every coach who has balance in his life has to do." Dungy is the only coach in Colts history to make the playoffs and win at least 10 games six consecutive years and has won a record 80 games, including playoffs, in six seasons. He's won five straight AFC South titles, reached the AFC championship game twice, and is tied with Hank Stram for 19th all-time with 136 career wins, including playoffs. He also won a franchiserecord 54 regular-season games at Tampa Bay, turning around one of the league's worst teams and leading it to the 1999 [IIFC championship game.

"I think part of it was the girls thought that it was over at halftime. They didn't come out with the same intensity they had in the' second quarter.

BY TtM DAHLBERG /.P SPORTS COLUMNIST He threw three interceptions, after throwing only ei~ht all season. A week after nnssing only two throws out of 28, he missed that many the first two times he dropped back to pass. "It just felt like everything was a struggle today," Brady said. Ultimately it was the defense Behchick takes such pride in that was the difference in this game. The Chargers had the ball inside the 10 three tinies and had to settle for field goals each time, including their final score midway through the third quarter. That made it 1412 and caused some nervous twittering among the bundled-up crowd. Brady would make one final mistake, getting picked off in the end zone · by Antonio Cromartie, but came back to lead the Patriots to a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Then he mostly handed the ball off to Laurence Maroney as the Patriots ran the last 9: 13 off the clock. "It's nice to know ~ou can win the close ones,' Brady said. "It's nice to know you can win the ones when you face some adversity." More than just winning the close ones, Brady wins the big ones. He's an amazing 14-2 in playoff games and is heading for his fourth Super Bowl, where he's undefeated in three previous appearances. He's the game's biggest · star heading once again to the game's biggest showplace. Arizona awaits. Expect the hair to be in place, as well as his game. Brady had barely gotten out of the postgame shower Sunday and he was already talking about redeeming himself in the Super Bowl, as if he had something to prove. He doesn't because things are already about as perfect as they can get. GREEN BAY, Wis. The resemblance was unmistakable everywhere except on the field. Once· Eli Manning stepped between the white lines, he somehow made football seem more like his burden than his birthright. He is the son of one great quarterback and the little brother of an even better one. But he lacks the devilmay-care charm that made his dad, Archie, such a heroic figure on all those lousy -teams in New Orleans. And he has yet to display the rocket arm or tactical mastery that made Peyton such a success in Indianapolis. · In fact, until Eli capped the best four-game run ofhis own maddenmg career with a flawless performance on a frozen fiefd far from New York, it seemed fair to wonder whether the family gene. pool was empty by the time he waded ·in. "I might be a hard guy to . read," Manning said, tn one of the understatemems of the season, moments after the Giants advanced to the Super Bowl with a 23-20 overtime win against the Packers. "But rigfit now, I'm as excited as I can be." We'll have to take his w.ord on . that. Eli's expression gives away so little that for much of the fourth quar- . ter and into overtime, the TV broadcast kept cutting to shots of Archie m a skybox at Lambeau Field burying his head in his hands. That way, at least, we knew somebody in the Manning family was anguishing over the outcome. Once Giants kicker Lawrence Tvnes made up for two fourth-quarter misses by <!£illing the 4?-yard game-wmner m overttme, a smile flashed briefly across Eli's lips. He ran onto the field looking for someone to hug and settled on Jeff Feagles, the Giants' holder on thdinal play. Then Eli's eyes got wide as he looked up to see his opposite number headed in hts direction. Yet it hardly looked like a meeting of equals. Brett Favre already had his helmet off and the poncho draped over his shoulders, set off by silver stubble and a tired grin, made him look more regal than usual. Manning, still wearing his helmet and an awed expression, thrust his hand forward like a kid about to shake his idol's hand. The only thing miss· ing was a slip of paper in his Palm for Favre's autograph. Unu'I Sunday nig ht, though, that mt~ht have been the ro~al "we. ' The kid never insptred confidence, and the nagging feeling the Giants had· mortgaged their future in the .draft·day deal that brought Eli to New York ' AP pl'lolo New York Giants .quarterback Ell Manning talks to the media by his locker Monday in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants will play in the Super Bowl football game against the New England Patriots. was never strmiger than it was on the eve -of the reguJar-season finale against the perfect New England Patnots. In the three previous games, Eli had thrown fout mterceptions against the Vikings . and had three returned for touchdowns; threw 35 incompletions against Washin~ton; and fumbled five times against Buffalo. But Manning produced a career effort against New England -· ''I am not doing anything different or anything extra special," he satd last week, taking a brief sta& at self-analysis. More important, he followed that up with smart, caretaker performances against Tampa Bay and Dallas. All three opponents tried to shut down New York's ~ound d d · game an counte on tm to make telling mistakes. As Manning proved against the Packers, you make that a building block of the game plan at your own ris!C. ·· "It's excitina," "' Manninll ,._ said one more lime, "but it s not about me. It's about this whole team." Giants coach Tom Coughlin might disagree, but lie has no Detter explanation for . the sudden tut:naround than Manning dries. He can't say why his quar- · terback's rating JUmped SO points the last few weeks, nor why he hasn't turned the ball over even once during that stretch. "Certainly not ideal conditions yet the focus of Eli was outstanding;" Coughlin said. "He just willed himself to play well." Archie Manning wasn't going to try to explain the numbers; either. Outside the Giants locker room, he cou,ld hardly believe his . good fortune. Peyton went to the Super Bowl and got his ring last season. Now much-maligned Eli, the runt of the Manning litter, was going to get his shot. "My cup runneth over," Archte said. "We're not crowning him yet. But I never thought that he was as bad as they were saying." It's not a ~lowing review - yet. But tt's a lot better than a story Archie told not long after Hurricane Katrina passed by the family's New Orleans home, only to have burglars strike a few days later. Seems Peyton and Eli each had signed a dozen jerseys for a charity auction and left them on a table. When Archie returned home~ the stack signed by Peyton had been stolen and Eh 's were left untouched. Hang onto 'em, Archie.for a few more .wei!ks.

Schott, a philanthropist who clashed with baseball's leadership, died in 2004 at the age of. 75. She sold her majority stake in the team in 1999 for $67 million under pressure from baseball because of a series of racially insensitive comments she made. · Pioneer farmer Peter Diehl built the house in 1835.

"We had happ~ times !n that house," satd Lottie Crane, Schott's older sister, "Daddy's five girls were married from that,house." Crane's mother wasn't enthusiastic about moving into the farmhouse from their home in tpe Cincinnati neighborhood of Clifton. "That place is a dump," she to'ld her lumber-baron husband in 1946. "There's no water, no indoor plumbing, no electricity." Edward Unnewehr 's mother bought the home as a rental pr!'perty in 1902. It was home to · bootleggers during· Prohibition. Before moving the family in, Unnewehr had the house gutted and a kitchen and den were added. Her parents stayed in the house until Christmas Eve 1980 when Charlotte Unnewehr suffered a stroke.
